So I plan on setting up my tort indoor enclosure this weekend and I have a few questions about plants I can plant in the enclosure.
1. Philodendron: Can a Russian Tort eat this I have found conflicting info on this some saying it's toxic some saying it's fine. I would like to plant this as it does well growing inside but if it turns out to be toxic ill keep it far away.
2. Christmas Cactus: I know torts like cactus but I don't know if the Christmas variety is tort edible.
3. Cactus in general: I know you can feed Russians prickly pear cactus. I was wondering though should I remove spines from the pads before feeding? If so should I remove all of the spines or just the large ones.
I do not have a tortoise yet so you don't have to worry about what i'm feeding it now. Also, I have seen the posts on tort edibles but if anyone has any suggestions on what plants that grow well indoors and are tort edible please let me know. Thank you.
